How to control LEDs and read switches from Zynq using Simulink?

Question

Hello,

I am using Matlab R2013b, ISE 14.4 and a Zedboard. I successfully ran the UDP example model (http://fr.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/xilinxzynq7000ec/examples/communicating-with-xilinx-zynq-hardware-using-udp-protocol.html) and now I want to control the LEDs and read the switches on the board.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks.

Hello Dani,

First I would suggest moving to the current Xilinx Vivado tool suite for your work. The ISE tool suite is pretty outdated and you are more likely to find examples and support for the current tools.

Would this MathWorks example be useful? You would need to target the ZedBoard rather than the ZC702:

as well as these:
